How can I obtain a private key?
On Windows, you can generate an ECDSA private key by using the famous open-source tool PuTTYgen.
Once your download and launch PuTTYgen, select parameters as key type ECDSA and any curve before you click "Generate" button.
Keep moving your mouse cursor randomly in the window until the progress bar reaches the end.
Once the private key is generated, enter the optional comment, passphrase and confirm passphrase before you click menu item "Conversions/Export OpenSSH key".
You will be prompted a save file dialog where you would like to keep it (e.g. a USB disk or a SD card). Later you select this key file when signing into Securit.
